There isn't much I miss about Boston/Somerville food wise, but this place is definitely one I hit when I'm in the area. Probably the best, freshest poke I've ever had. The boba is pretty good too. I miss when I was right next door and getting it every week. They have tablets to order on or you can give your order to a cashier -- service is quick and pleasant. They have tables to dine in and free fruit flavored water to drink. It gives local boba shop w fluorescent lighting type vibes. It's popular with the local college kids despite having a competing chain nearby. (I do like pokeworks but I would kill for a Waikiki near me). My only complaint is they have no rewards program (like Pokeworks does). I guess they know the food is good enough to not need it ‍ read more

Fresh, delicious ingredients at reasonable prices for the portion size. We came here for lunch and were able to easily order at one of their ordering screens at the counter. Our food was prepared quickly and there was a clean, cutely decorated self-serve seating area inside for dine-in. My Make-Your-Own bowl came with two proteins and lots of topping options. It was healthy, delicious, and a filling lunch. I'll definitely come back to have another poke bowl or to try one of their other menu options! read more

Solid Poké Spot in Davis! The shop is cute, clean and spacious. You can order from a kiosk which is so helpful since their menu is huge. I definitely enjoyed their classic Waikiki Poké Bowl! You can customize the entire bowl so I swapped out some of the sauce. Their classic Shoyu was so delicious! Spicy Mayo was surprisingly bland. The ingredients tasted fresh. They are a tad pricey for the quantity but for the quality & convenience of Waikiki it's worth. read more

Waikiki is one of my go-to poke bowl take out place. While it's my 2nd fav poke place, they really make it up for it for offering eel, and also having really good boba drinks! I would order from Waikiki whenever I'm craving for both. Their poke bowl is customizable and good serving size. I got the matcha coffee latte and it was delicious. read more

Had an amazing Taro Milk Bubble Tea with cold whole milk and a Waikiki Fire Bowl. WOW - it was smashingly delicious. Order your selection of sushi, bowl, or bubble teas on a computer screen and you are good to go. This is one of my son's favorite place. Super fresh and you basically can create your own bowl. Service is efficient and friendly - Boston style. The decor is modern Hawaiian sleek and neutral with a blue undertone. Just the right vibe to make you feel comfortable. read more

I wish I lived closer to Somerville to be able to visit Waikiki again! I happened to be in the neighborhood and wanted to pick up a poke bowl, I know there are multiple poke restaurants in the area, but Waikiki just looked the best that day. I have no regrets choosing it though! I created my own bowl with shoyu tuna and salmon as my proteins. There were a lot of toppings to choose from, but I decided on avocado, seaweed salad, mango, edamame, corn, nori, spicy mayo. Every component of the bowl was delicious, the fish was fresh, the rice was fluffy, so many toppings coming together. My bowl ended up being a little over $20, but I was full and happy at the end of it. Pick-up was fast, my order was ready within 20 minutes after ordering. This is not a car-friendly place, nowhere around Davis Square is, but my boyfriend double parked while I ran in. I'm sure you can loop around a few times to find street parking if you really wanted to. The restaurant itself look clean, spacious, friendly staff members. Definitely one of the better poke spots I've encountered! read more

Food: Taro milk tea was a calling to me at night, especially since it was decaf. Drink was so good. Wish I wasn't in a rush so I could've gotten it hotter. Service: Lol it took a while for this hot taro milk tea to be prepared, but it was good. Wish I had more time next time to wait for it to be actually hot. Ambiance: Great area, lots of seating with natural light. Poke also looked delicious, definitely would try it next time. read more

This place is amazing!! Definitely coming back. all of the ingredients, especially the fish is very fresh. The staff were friendly and generous with portions, prices are also very reasonable. Don't miss out on the drinks here either! read more

I was in the area running some errands so I decided to grab dinner at Waikiki. Very happy with my decision! The interior is very sleek and modern. You order on one of several touch screens. I got the Garden Roll, a seaweed roll with fried tofu, mushrooms, fresh veggies, and a teriyaki sauce. You pick the amount of sauce on your roll, or you can get it on the side. I got the "regular" amount. It took maybe 10 minutes max for my order to be called. It was delicious! The sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, the veggies were fresh and added a nice crunch, and the portion was just right. My only complaint is that it was a little messy to eat since the pieces were just a little too big to be bite size, but honestly that might have been user error. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely consider coming back! read more

I have passed by this place a million times & finally went in. Well they have a variety of different things from bowls to salads to maki (sushi). So nice to be able to find some vegan options. Super helpful & friendly staff, & food comes out quick too. read more

I've only had their poke delivered once, but it was some of the best I've had in Boston (not including manoa). I also ordered a mango sago drink that really hit the spot! Can't wait to order again or go in person sometime. read more

Right in Somerville, has street parking in the front. I try this restaurant when craving for some pokes in the area. The ingredients were fresh, the restaurant looks clean and nicely designed. I like this place for its roomy and the drinks option that they also offer. I ordered up front and paid at the front, so there is not much of customer interaction. But the employees there are super friendly read more

The staff was nice and they bring the food to you if you're dining in. This is definitely a casual spot for catching up with friends. I even saw some customers with board games. The rolls and the bowl were good. I liked that they had a Wasabi mayo. I also liked that my bowl came with an egg. read more

There are two types of poke places I like: places where the portion sizes are so big that I don't care about the fish quality, and places where the ingredients are so fresh and delicious that they are worth the price. Waikiki falls into the second category-- I don't think a bowl would satisfy me if I was starving, but the fish and ingredients are so fresh that I'll be ordering from them a lot! I ordered delivery and built my own bowl for $16.95 (Uber eats price). You get to choose two proteins so I got the spicy shoyu ahi tuna and spicy shoyu salmon. I also tried their waikiki classic sauce which had a very tropical fruity flavor. Although I felt that the protein scoops were small and some of the topping portions were also small, everything was super delicious. Even the rice was cooked perfectly! I would highly recommend getting the spicy shoyu tuna/salmon because it is so flavorful and not too spicy at all. I also decided to try their mango pomelo coconut milk drink ($7.95) which tasted very fresh and kind of tasted like mango sago without the sago. It came with coconut jellies on the bottom. Overall the drink was not too sweet which I appreciated. I would highly recommend this poke spot! If you are a fan of Manoa in Porter, this is a really tasty alternative with a wider selection of drinks and more customizability! read more

*disclaimer* We only came in for boba. But shout out to this place for giving us drink options in Davis that are not the other boba chains. I secretly love a place with computers to order at - it was very quick and easy. The drinks were ready within minutes. It was very cute and themed inside. Nothing was special or spectacular about the drinks, but they both were solid boba options. read more

Delicious options here, poke bowls, sushi rolls, boba, smoothies, and appetizer options. Cute space to eat in or a quick takeout right outside the red line Davis square station. Water and few sauce options available on the side for convenience. You can order online or at the screen provided at the front. We got the Create-Your-Own Poke Bowls at $14.99 with very fresh tuna and salmon options and tons of fixings included. I tried it with their signature Waikiki sauce and the passionfruit shoyu which was sweet and little tangy. It was unique and flavorful! Whatever it is, I wanna come back! Delicious! read more

Very satisfied with the quality of food here, try it out if you want refreshing + delicious + reasonably priced poke/rolls :) I think I might have found my favorite poke place in Boston. You can just tell their ingredients are fresh and combinations are perfect. I especially like their Korean Kimbop (seaweed rolls) style rolls, and all the sauces they provide. Make sure to check this place out if you're around Davis! read more

Fresh poke and ingredients! I got the Hawaiian bowl but modified it for spicy shoyu tuna and salmon. It was well-balanced and a bit sweet and spicy. I like that the rice is properly seasoned so there is decent flavor throughout. The fresh cucumbers that were peeled and lightly dressed added a refreshing crunch. I enjoyed it and felt sated afterwards. They offer many kinds of drinks and sushi as well. The bowl was $16 and I received it within 5 mins of ordering (no line). Service was friendly, helpful and fast. The space is very clean and bright, has self service ordering kiosks and a regular cashier, and a fair amount of seating. There's self serve water and another station for utensils and condiments like soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame seeds etc. I prefer Waikiki to other nearby poke places, it's good quality, and will definitely return when I get a poke craving! read more

One of the best sushi spots in Davis. Good quality for a decent price - not too expensive.

Food: Can't believe I'm saying this but I think this poke was even better than the poke I had in Waikiki Beach, Hawaii! Wow. The freshness of this poke bowl's ingredients was next level. I ordered the "Waikiki Fire Bowl," which included brown rice (my choosing), shoyu tuna, shoyu salmon, cucumber, red cabbage, seaweed salad, radish, jalapeño, nori furikake, and wasabi mayo. Such a delicious and well-curated mix. I ordered on a computer screen and sat down. An employee came and found me with my food when it was ready -- which was a speedy ~7mins! There are also an array of juices/teas to choose from. I had a delicious iced matcha with coffee. Ambiance: I walked into this establishment blown away by the serene space and *cleanliness* -- the place is pristine! What a breath of fresh air! Cambridge is really lucky to have Waikiki! I love the casual feel of the space too -- it's a great place to come if you want to eat out but don't want to go thru all the wait times of service. I would 1000% recommend this place to folks looking for authentic poke and a place with excellent service! read more

I got delivery from here one night when I wanted to try out a new poke place. I find some other chains to just not be super great quality so wanted to try something new. I was really impressed. I got a volcano bowl (wasn't spicy) and was impressed with how balanced the bowl felt. I loved all the different textures: fresh chunky salmon with a spicy tuna tartar type texture, plus the crunchy rice on top, and pickled veggies. There was a lot happening but it all worked. I want to try their other bowls now too! It's definitely not the best poke in the city (Manoa is still top tier) but they're good! I also got a taro boba. It was decent, not the best boba but it satisfied my boba craving! I liked having different milk options, and didn't think it was too sweet. I got mine with coconut jelly and really liked it. Definitely would try them out again. read more

Tasty poke and fast service! I've gotten both the poke and drinks here and they're both pretty solid. I usually build my own bowl which comes with two proteins, toppings and your choice of sauce. They also have sushi rolls, maki rolls, bubble tea and smoothies. You can order at the kiosk or the counter and they bring your order out quickly. The restaurant has plenty of tables to eat at and hang out. Perfect spot for a quick lunch or when you don't feel like cooking. read more

The poke here is excellent! The fish is fresh and the sauces complement the flavors very well. It's a staple for Tufts students :)

We ordered the Hawaiian bowl with edamame and seaweed salad--no dressing (I like to dip my fish with wasabi and soy sauce). For my son, we ordered the kid's salmon bowl with raw salmon without dressing or sauces. We both loved our bowls bc the presentation was excellent and the fish and other ingredients were fresh and delicious. Serving size was large. Service was welcoming and quick. Prices were fair and reasonable. The decor to this place is clean, light, and bright. My Star Rating: 5 stars: Blew my mind, had a wow factor, will return 4 stars: I liked it but didn't love it, no wow factor, will still return 3 stars: I didn't hate it, but didn't like it either.

Great bowl. will eat here again soon. Definitely get extra sauce As the food is only lightly drizzled.

Cute and clean shop. You can order through a monitor which was nice. I honestly love that they had more options than other poke stores so far in MA. Fish flavor was fresh and easy to eat. Sauce flavors were amazing. Loads of protein options, base options, topping options, etc. My bowl looked like Frankenstein afterwards. I may have added too much toppings. But it still tasted great and having the options sure as hell helps. read more

I've been here two separate times, once for tea, and another for a poke bowl. Both times, everything was mostly good. The service is exceptionally fast, though I'm sure this depends when you go, and everyone is very friendly. Onto the specifics: The first time, I ordered passionfruit tea with mango pieces. It was very good, but please bring your own straw! They only have paper straws and my entire plan of drinking my tea on the go was ruined, as my straw disintegrated and broke off within a matter of five minutes. While I understand the importance of eliminating plastic straws, this is not an efficient solution. I would much rather pay extra for a straw, whether plastic or reusable, than use this! Regardless, I will be back for more tea, because it is really good. I decided to satisfy my poke craving with a personalized bowl, consisting of spicy salmon, edamame, brown rice, and a bunch of other goodies. The bowl tasted very fresh, though there was a little bit too much spicy mayo. The salmon also tasted a little bit fishy, which made it harder to eat, but I still finished it. Despite the small negatives I have about the place, they are definitely outweighed by the positives. I will definitely come back. It's a nice fresh alternative to many other places in the area. read more

Mango tropical Poke bowl was great!! Fast service and great dining area! The ordering kiosk was nice and helpful!

I only wish Waikiki was even closer to my house (yes I am complaining about having to drive 12 minutes to get here). Waikiki is a lovely little casual place where you can have anything that Hawaiian Japanese cuisine has to offer. Three large touch screens greet you at the door (although you are welcome to place an order at the counter with the servers but honestly, since there's so much customization available, it might be easier and less stressful to take your time on the screens) and there is about 5-6 tables that is usually never full that you can dine at. I recommend making your own poke bowl but there are bowls on the menu that are already customized, as well as some sushi rolls, bubble tea, and smoothies (I've gotten so many smoothies here over the summer, don't judge. But Waikiki--could you expand your smoothie menu? please?) It's easy, it's fast, it's tasty and will fill you up! read more

We absolutely love Poke in this house and were so excited to try Waikiki. I love their menu! There are so many unique options when it comes to bowls, and some great sushi and teas as well. I had a custom bowl with all kinds of toppings and Ahi Tuna. I was impressed with the double portion of Tuna as I usually have to order 3 proteins at other Poke places to get the same amount. I will definitely be a return customer! read more

Great local spot for bubble tea/boba, fruit teas, and bowls/salads. I keep coming back here again and again for the coconut lychee fruit tea because it's so good. I like how much flavor the tea has, the fruit jellies have cool sweet/sour taste and a nice texture. The drink menu is pretty extensive with lots of options to choose from. Also have had a poke bowl from here one time for lunch and it was delicious - loaded up with fish and toppings, super fresh and filling. The shop is super clean and looks nice inside, service is fast and everyone who works there is really nice. There is an electronic order system that works well. read more

If you love salmon, look no further! The spicy shoyu salmon is where it's at. The staff gives generous amounts of fish and plenty of toppings. Great fish to rice ratio! We loved the eel sauce and pickled radish topping too. Ordering on the kiosk made things easy for us to see everything the place has to offer and make decisions. get 2 scoops of shoyu salmon - you won't regret it! read more

Super pleasant surprise! I expected the kind of Poke fare i've experienced in other places; the bowls and the burrito style pokirito, but Waikiki had those exact offerings and much much more! There was an entire section of the menu dedicated to maki type rolls that were HUGE and so so fantastic! We ordered: The Fantasy Roll-Spicy Salmon, cucumber, avo The Paradise Roll-Tuna. salmon, avo One tuna cucumber roll We were truly overwhelmed with how packed each roll was with fresh fish! read more

Got Waikiki for takeout yesterday!! We didn't sit in but the store seemed really clean and had such a cute island aesthetic with all the decor they had. We built custom bowls - I got the shoyu salmon, shrimp, edamame, corn, seaweed salad, fried onions and furikake over brown rice. We also tried their maki luau roll. My custom bowl was really good with a decent amount of protein the only thing that I wished was that the veggies were cooked a little longer, especially the edamame. Other than that it was a balanced bowl with plenty of great ingredients. As for the maki roll I've never had mango in a roll before but it provided a sweet refreshing level of taste. It's definitely unique and delicious. I would definitely go back and maybe try some appetizers or some of their drinks. Overall great experience!! read more

Takeout/delivery experience: Saw this place walking in Davis and hadn't even heard of it. Then again, I have my go-to poke and sushi takeout already. Ordered through Yelp for delivery. (My annoyance whenever I do this is always that there's no communication other than an update on the status that they've HOPEFULLY clicked, but that's separate from the restaurant - just a delivery fyi). Good quality fish. The sushi rice was great and not too compacted like Pokeworks can be. The soft boiled egg was hard boiled though. The bowl was overall pretty fresh. Two things - More protein please. Pokeworks never shied away from the protein. These guys could've used a little more. But that might've been affected by the second thing. Too much cucumbers. Half the bowl was cucumber. So I can see not being able to fill it up with more protein. read more
